Topic Selection: Topic 1
Team Selection: Gwen Jordan, Maura Kelly, Makayla Medycki
Working Thesis: Freire’s “The ‘Banking’ Concept of Learning” relates to West Chester University because of the way the professors belittle the students and hand them information without further concern about their understanding of it. The space of West Chester University is primarily based on computers.
2 Quotes:
“The teacher knows everything and the student knows nothing.”
“The teacher talks and the students listen — meekly.”

David Macmullen:
I like the idea for your paper but I feel as if your thesis is a little to simple. I don’t think you will be able to write an 1050 word paper on jus that, try to make the thesis more broad.
Haley Clark:
I think connecting professors belittling students to the banking concept of education is a good idea. I agree students are handed information without getting the chance to understand it, and it will make a good idea in your paper.
Seamus Corkery:
I like your thesis statement but I feel that the last sentence came out of the blue and doesn’t fit the rest of the thesis statement. Many people may view computers as a good thing that could help the student learn more.
David Heffron
I don’t know where you are going with the last sentence of your thesis but I do think that your quotes fit well with the rest of the thesis and will build a strong argument.
Jason Riberio
I am slightly confused on the belittling part of the thesis but I do agree that WCU Is mainly used for commuters and accommodates them much more. I like the idea of this argument
